At its heart, Homecoming is about pride -- the pride that swells in new class as they sweep through town and flood the Green to encircle the bonfire, the pride that fills Memorial Field and defines every cheer, the pride that keeps an army of allegiant alumni coming back each Dartmouth Night.

DDS excels at being predictable, like the predictable southern fried chicken on Mondays at Food Court, or the predictable deep-fried bits of seafood on Fridays. Homeplate dishes out roast turkey dinners on Sunday nights without fail. On top of all that, DDS can always be counted on losing money. In fact, the business prospects of DDS are so bright that the director of dining services has been quoted in this newspaper that they only aim to break even.

If there is such a thing as a certainty in Arab-Israeli bio-politics it is this: even the most mundane of compromises are subject to failure. The landscape is simply not conducive to constructive politics -- no matter how significant Israel's concessions, Arab leadership won't be satisfied; no matter how great a concession Israel appears to be making there is inevitably a circuitous nature to it. However, the standards of inactivity and rigidity have been redefined by recent developments in the West Bank, specifically the inability of the Israeli government to put up a separation wall without inciting Palestinian outrage. Having proved unable to coexist peacefully, Palestinians and Israelis now seem destined to disagree violently on how to separate themselves. In doing so, the two cultures have finally proved wrong the idiom, "good fences make good neighbors."

Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of articles profiling College alums working in film and television.Dartmouth didn't have a film major in 1971. So Bill Phillips '71 created one. Combining courses in Comparative Literature, English, Drama, French, Russian, Art, Music and Independent Study, Phillips was the first film studies major to graduate from Dartmouth in 1971. Thirty-three years later, Phillips is still sitting in Film Studies classroom at Dartmouth, but this time, he is the one calling the shots.

The posters promise "money, power and pandas," but what exactly is "Jack-O TV: Episode 2" all about? From the creators of such parodies as "Cozmopolitan" and "The Dartmovth" comes a full-length film that is, in the words of its creators, a parody of itself.

The Boston sports world is on edge, plain and simple. You might be expecting me to discuss the Boston Red Sox, but in truth, that pain is still far too deep and far too near. My friends know how much it broke me, and the Sox will not be spoken of again until there is a reasonable facsimile of healing in me. No, what I speak of, on top of the Sox, is the trade of Boston Celtics co-captain Antoine Walker. That's right folks, Antoine Walker is gone, to Dallas no less, along with Tony Delk for Raef LaFrentz, Jiri Welsch, Chris Mills and a first-round draft pick.

What's the best present for a new baby boy, you ask? A finely crafted blanket of soft blue made from ever so delicate material? A Shur Fine 3-pack of pacifiers? How about having the coach of the hottest collegiate sailing team in the country as a father? Little Courtland James Doyle was born on Friday, Oct. 17 at a healthy size of 8lbs, 11oz. Merely a day later, the squad led by Coach Brian Courtland Doyle was out competing in team, women's, and co-ed events.

Thursday the 16th was a momentous day for the class of 2007. It signified the one-month anniversary of move-in day, though, like most other anniversaries, it seems to have been forgotten. One month of eating Collis pasta, doing our own laundry and sharing a bathroom with a code no one can remember. One month of having the walk from the River to the gym serve as our workout, nevermind the machines at Kresege. One month of timing how long it takes to get from our dorms to class so we can sleep as late as possible. One month of dodging Safety and Security and the Hanover Police. One month of being full-fledged Dartmouth students.

I question both the veracity of the motives and the intelligence of any group that purports to campaign for the wellbeing of non-human animals while actively discouraging its members from supporting the National Wildlife Federation, the National Audubon Society, the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club, the Wilderness Society and the World Wildlife Fund. All of these groups variously raise funds to purchase habitat and educate the public about wildlife issues, engage corporations and the government inside the courtroom to protect endangered species and resources, or work to prevent human encroachment on wild places. In 2002, the World Wildlife Fund alone spent $99 million dollars "to protect wildlife and wild places, and to combat the global threats of uncontrolled deforestation, overfishing, toxins and climate change."

Though it is counter-intuitive, it is an essential part of the job description. College administrators are extraordinarily cautious to avoid the appearance of bias, especially partisanship, in their decision-making.

When Alexandra Giese, a prospective '08, told a good friend of hers at Brown that she intended to apply to Dartmouth, her friend's immediate response was simple: "Eww, Dartmouth's really conservative."

Common stereotypes portray university faculties as "vast left-wing conspiracies," a sentiment most recently articulated by New York Times columnist David Brooks in an attention-getting op-ed piece last month. Brooks' piece, titled "Lonely Campus Voices," criticized university faculties for having a liberal bias and for making it exceedingly hard for conservatives to receive tenure at top universities.
